What's Your Home Defense Gun

Massad Ayoob wants to know.  It's a legit question, and there may be several correct answers.

For myself, a little J-frame Smith and Wesson is a constant companion.  Always and everywhere.  I haven't been without that pistol in civvies for the past 14 years.  At that time, I decided to conduct an experiment, and began carrying always and everywhere.

For a while, I carried a little Ruger LCP, but it got loaned out, or it needed cleaning, or something.  Right now, the LCP is in a convenient drawer near my computer.  But, the J-frame is in my pocket.  Always and everywhere.

So, what's your choice?

Was a 1911A1 Range Officer, but I got a deal on a P229 in .40S&W (LEO trade-in), & I love it. It goes where I go unless I'm working in the yard, when I stick the P64 in my pocket.

Mine is the LCP in a hip pocket wallet holster. Yea it's small, but it's allways with me because its so easy to take.

Upstairs, a Ruger Mark II -- it's my favorite "tuck in my belt" gun. Downstairs in my office a SW Model 19. In the garage a single action .22 revolver. In the field it's the Ruger except for deer season.

LW 38 Super Commander for away from home. Plus a 1911 in the tv room, and a 1911 in the living room, and a 1911 in the kitchen, and a 1911 in the bedroom, plus an AR-15 leaning behind the bedroom door.

For the home: Glock 21 with Surefire light by the bed. That'll get me to the rifles.

For out and about: that do vary according to my mood, but it's usually something in .45.

Glock 19 on the nightstand. Glock 23 as every day carry. SCCY 9mm in testing for backup. Numerous J-frames scattered about the house,just in case. Wife keeps Springfield XDM in her vehicle.
